Karnataka BJP chief BY Vijayendra refrained from replying to reporters' questions, but hinted at a possible change in candidacy in the seat.
The BJP has dropped a hint about the potential candidacy for the Mysuru LS seat — erstwhile Mysuru royal scion Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar — raising questions about MP Pratap Simha’s future. BJP leaders have emphasised the party’s commitment to prioritising winnability as the primary criterion for selecting candidates. However, Simha exuded confidence that the party would field him.
